Heroes Highway to get multi-lane makeover
…as Govt. gears up to pour $5B into expansion
(Kaieteur News) – The government is gearing up to pour another $5 billion into expanding the Heroes Highway, adding new lanes from Haags Bosch to Massy along the East Bank Demerara corridor.
According to bids submitted to the National Procurement and Tender Administration Board (NPTAB), the project, which will be executed through the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) carries an estimated cost of $5,012,856,161 and will be divided into five lots.
Engineer’s estimates show the breakdown as follows: Lot 1: $661M; Lot 2: $651M; Lot 3 $822M; Lot 4: $1.38B; and Lot 5 $1.49B. A total of six contractors have already submitted bids. The ministry described the expansion as a “critical part” of the government’s aggressive drive to improve connectivity and reduce the traffic chaos plaguing the East Bank corridor.
The Heroes Highway, which links Mandela Avenue to Eccles and eventually the new Demerara River crossing, is fast becoming one of the country’s most expensive infrastructure arteries with this new multi-billion-dollar investment adding to the growing price tag of Guyana’s concrete transformation.

Govt. should start building ELEVATED HIGHWAYS with longer specific exits in
busy populated areas, whilst leaving the LOWER ROADWAYS for shorter
exits. Traffic will be eased and move faster, since Guyanese like to speed,
not driving fast with caution.
